I apologise to anyone who couldn't open the video the link I posted went crap but the link is on my bio :)

Clexafever: Honestly I love writing this fic so much. It gives me so much joy knowing that I know where this is heading and that you're all going to hate me at the end (SAYING NO MORE) ;) Anyway I'm glad you're enjoying it haha. Octavia and Raven don't get enough love as a pairing. I love Lexa/Clarke Octavia/Raven Clarke/Raven so my fics will probably be a mix of these… I have an idea for a Raven/Clarke fic… But I'm going to finish this before I start anything else

I'm getting repetitive strain injury in my hands and neck so if I take a while to update then that's why haha (God I hate college -_-)

Enjoy!

They arrived back at Camp Jaha early morning before the sun had risen and the camp was alive with the sounds of their people. Clarke had visibly relaxed the moment they crossed the border. There was something serene about the camp now. The fence around the ark had been taken down and instead it sat at the centre of distantly spaced tents with the largest, Lexa's tent, pitched next to the ark.

Clarke didn't remember getting down from the horse and following Lexa back to her tent. The grounder didn't say anything she just pulled Clarke down under the covers with her and together they enjoyed what was left of the night.

Now that the war was over and peace for the sky people was also guaranteed Lexa herself seemed more relaxed. She had certainly been more intimate with Clarke on the journey back. Yet still something was nagging her at the back of her mind and Clarke couldn't drop the feeling that something was wrong. Lexa was happy, too happy, and it didn't sit right with Clarke. It seemed… forced.

She awoke to the familiar smell of the forest and the sounds of a camp that had been awake for a while. Her arm tightened around the pillow and she pushed her face further in away from the day she refused to meet just yet.

Only when she turned her head did she realise what her 'pillow' was and, opening her eyes, she was met with the familiar glint in a green pair looking down at her.

"Enjoying yourself?"

Clarke groaned and leaned back into Lexa's shoulder, "Too early" she mumbled.

A laugh vibrated beneath her and Lexa's hand moved up to stroke Clarke's bare back, "Everyone else has been awake for a while. Your mother came in" Clarke's head whipped up and Lexa winked, "Twice"

Now Clarke really did bury her head back into the pillow. She felt Lexa shift and knew they couldn't avoid the day any longer.

Raven sighed and ran a hand through her hair not for the first time that morning. She turned to the slumbering Blake next to her and smiled at the slightly open mouth that released a gentle snore every few moments.

She had been awake since the break of day and knew that she should have tried to get some more sleep but her head had been all over the place.

Polis had been beautiful and, after everything, a much needed break for all of them but now they were back. Back to reality. Now she had a decision to make and she knew that whatever she decided Octavia would stand by her but… but she was scared.

If she went through with this procedure Abbey was talking about then it would be painful, really painful, and she might not be up and walking again for a long time. However, if she did go through with it and it worked then she wouldn't need the brace and her muscles wouldn't feel so useless all the time.

If she didn't… then nothing would change. Raven would need the brace to walk and there would always be this drag behind her but there would be no pain. She wouldn't have weeks, possibly months, with any ability in her legs.

The decision was hers.

Octavia groaned to her right and she watched the younger girl rouse herself slowly. Only when her gaze landed on Raven did she smile and lift her head from the pillow.

Raven sighed and dragged herself down the bed so she was facing Octavia, "Morning"

"Is it?" Octavia asked, taking note of the still silent camp.

She just shrugged and moved to get up, "Barely"

Octavia just growled and buried her head again, "Then why" She pulled the covers up and over her head, "Are you awake?"

Raven laughed and pulled her leg into the brace, no more doing that if she went through with it, "We can't lie in bed forever and I need to speak with Abby"

Octavia sat up at that and moved next to her at the edge of the bed, "Have you decided?"

"No"

At Octavia's raised eyebrow she just rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh, "I don't know what to do O… There's an argument for and against. I love Abby but the idea of her doing this alone makes me nervous"

"Well" Octavia leant down to help finish strapping the brace, "Why don't I ask Clarke to oversee it?"

She thought about that for a moment and nodded slowly, "I do trust Clarke"

"So do I" Octavia lifted her head up and smiled reassuringly, "But I trust that Abby knows what she's doing as well"

Raven furrowed her brow and nodded. She did trust Abby but having Clarke there, who had proven herself more than once since being on the ground, gave her extra comfort.

She lifted herself of the bed and moved to get ready when a hand grasped her from behind. With a screech she fell back onto the covers as Octavia tackled her laughing. Her laugh joined but a moment later she was silenced by the Blake's lips covering hers.

Bellamy was eating alone when Clarke sat down next to him. She sighed and looked around at the others. The tables were placed neatly outside of the Ark, to the further left a large fire was lit every night to cook their food, and there was a slight cover over a few of the tables. Bellamy still couldn't quite get over the feeling of eating outside under the bright sky and sun, trees in the distance and the smell of the woods constantly under his nose.

Clarke lifted her head to take in the morning and she smiled happily down at him. Bellamy grinned back as he took another bite of food, "First smile I've seen in a long time Princess"

She rolled her eyes and began eating her breakfast, "I don't think we've appreciated Earth quite like this before"

"Yeah well, we've been busy if you hadn't noticed"

Clarke shot him a look as Octavia and Raven sat down opposite them. The two had been inseparable since Polis and, despite the lingering awkwardness of having slept with Raven himself, Bellamy was happy for Octavia. Clarke was right; they really hadn't appreciated Earth enough since arriving.

Octavia's left arm was placed gently at the small of Raven's back as the mechanic leant into her side slightly, "Clarke I have a favour to ask"

She nodded for Octavia to continue, "Can you oversee Raven's operation?"

Clarke stopped chewing and swallowed, "My mum-"

"Is a great doctor" Raven cut in, "Believe me I know but I would just feel better if there was more than one person in there"

"That I know" She added at Clarke's look of confusion.

"So would I" Octavia mumbled and Clarke nodded smiling between the two, "Of course… Does this mean you're going through with it?"

She took a deep breath and nodded, "I want to… and I think I need to"

"Okay, yes, I'll do it"

Clarke indicated to the Ark, "I was about to meet my mum, if you come then we can talk you through everything you want to know?"

Raven agreed and they stood to leave. Octavia made to follow but Bellamy called her back, "So you and Raven?"

She gave him an accusing look, "So you and Echo"

He laughed and raised his hands in defence, "I wasn't complaining… Abby knows what she's doing O"

"I know" Octavia sat back down again, "and I know that she'll be in pain no matter what happens but I want to make sure she won't be in any more pain than necessary"

Bellamy nodded and placed his hand over hers, "Clarke and Abby have this covered… trust them?"

"I do" She bit her lip like she wanted add more and grinned, "You and Echo slept together"

It was a statement, not a question, and he didn't need to ask to know how she found out. They hadn't exactly been discrete when she had led him back to her room and Bellamy wasn't known for being subtle either. That and he had run into Clarke and Lexa the morning after. The commander's face told him everything he needed to know.

He sighed and prepared himself, "We did"

To his surprise Octavia just shrugged, "I'm happy for you… are you together?"

He puffed out his chest, "Yes actually"

Octavia snorted and stood from the table, "You and commitment… I'll believe it when I see it"

Bellamy grimaced and rolled his eyes, "Whatever O… Though I have been curious about something?"

"Go on" She looked amused and was smirking at him.

"I slept with your girlfriend before you"

Octavia's amusement just seemed to increase and she shrugged, "Yep"

She made to leave again and he called to her, "Doesn't that bother you?"

Octavia didn't stop or turn around; she just called over her shoulder, "Don't flatter yourself. She didn't come back for seconds did she?"

Bellamy just laughed and couldn't help but wonder if he was the punch line to a private joke. Then again, she hadn't come back for seconds.

XoXoXoX

He wasn't surprised. Bellamy knew it was only a matter of time until Echo told Lexa about them. He wasn't even surprised that it was only two days after their return that she approached him. What did surprise him was how brash she was about the whole thing.

The grounders had shown Bellamy a small lake and stream nearby that they used for cleaning, the men anyway, and he was taking full advantage of it when the commander appeared.

She didn't even bother to cover her eyes, she just stood there, looking down at him in all his glory with an eyebrow raised and arms crossed. He didn't have to ask to know what it was about.

Echo had warned Bellamy how defensive Lexa could be and that would be heightened having only just been reunited with her sister. The commander intimidated Bellamy at the best of times but Lexa without the commander's bravado on the defensive was utterly terrifying.

Bellamy threw himself back into deeper waters so he could at least keep some dignity. He was waste height when she finally spoke.

"Bellamy Blake"

He nodded and she stepped closer to the water's edge, "My sister has told me how taken with you she has become over the last few days" She gave him a look, "Especially Polis"

Bellamy's eyes widened and he opened his mouth but she raised a hand, "I need no explanation. I respect your sister because she has earned her place among my people, Raven has also earned her place, and Bellamy you too have proven yourself in the mountain. For that, I respect you"

He held back a grin as she opened her mouth again, "However, this isn't about my respect for you as a warrior, this about my respect for you as a person but I don't Bellamy. I don't know you. So I am left to trust my sister in her judgement of you and I do trust her but I still don't know you"

"You want to get to know me?" He stared at her open mouthed.

"You will join me for my hunt tomorrow. Be at the main gate before sunrise"

With that she turned and left without another word, leaving Bellamy staring after her wide eyed and mouth open slightly.

Well I hope that was satisfying for everyone. I think we're about half way in this and I hope this was a lighter chapter for everyone haha

We're building up to a pretty intense chapter soon and I have hinted at it in a previous chapter and there will be a few more hints so I hope it's not too out of the blue :S

Anyway please let me know what you all think and I apologise for not updating sooner! :) Thanks for all the follows, favourites and reviews - Love you all!
